The scene was very weird at one point, very weird.

In his usual work, Jobs yelled at others, scolded him when he disagreed, and showed no mercy, but today the occasion was reversed, and Roy couldn't control himself first and lost his temper.

"You're still too young!"

Jobs began with a classic sentence and opened his own explanation: "I know that in the eyes of many people, I am a megalomaniac who does not know the height of the sky, empty-eyed and contemptuous of everything, but the setbacks experienced at Apple and the low point of life after leaving Apple for 11 years have made me see many things clearly, and some companies rely on my paranoia and cannot change the world." ”

Roy sat down again, sighing in his heart, young man, you are too modest, there is no doubt that you have changed the world.

Jobs continued: "After returning to Apple, I stayed on the board for a long time, and although most of the directors' opinions were rubbish, there were some key reminders that really helped me sort out my thinking. I am very much in favor of the board system, so I don't want to report to the future as a young man with little experience, which is not good for me and dangerous for the company. ”

In the future, Apple and Google will be two opposing management philosophies, representing the authority of their respective factional business philosophy.

Apple's later period is a typical board culture, that is, the board of directors often gives the CEO some advice, but also interferes in the CEO's decision-making, focusing on the CEO to be responsible for shareholders at all times, with the most fundamental goal of creating profits and paying a large number of dividends.

The advantage of this model is that it is very stable and will not make big mistakes, which is equivalent to a strategy of gathering wisdom, but the disadvantage is also obvious, in order to cater to shareholders, the CEO will focus on short-term interests and immediate interests, and it is difficult to make a long-term plan that deviates from the norm.

Because when disruptive innovation first started, ordinary people couldn't understand it at all, because there was no precedent, and the founder naturally couldn't necessarily explain the service or product he wanted to do. Therefore, if it is resolved by the board of directors, it will be difficult to pass such a plan.

The other is the CEO culture represented by Google, which means that the board of directors does not have the authority to interfere with the CEO's day-to-day decisions. Either the board of directors fires the CEO and replaces him, or the board trusts that the CEO does not interfere, and in such a company there is no checks and balances.

There are also advantages and disadvantages to this model. The advantage is that the CEO can make more advanced plans and gamble on the future with resources, in case the treasure is pressed, and an inconspicuous investment that has been buried suddenly shines, then the whole company will also usher in a second explosive leap.

There are naturally shortcomings, just like the famous saying: absolute power breeds absolute **. If no one questions the CEO's decision-making, the company is more likely to go to extremes, and a stubborn bias of the CEO will lead the organization to the point of no return.

Based on the above, it makes sense for Jobs to realize that he needs to see the big picture, learn to help his colleagues, and identify with the board culture.

Roy thought for a moment, the problem seemed to be easy to solve, and he suggested, "It's simple, can I get some other members to join the board of directors? Or maybe you can set up a private staff group within the company and solve the problem of assisting you in your decision-making." It doesn't have to be the original board members. What's more, they brutally kicked you out of the company in the first place. ”

Roy was very satisfied with his response, which can be described as exhaustive, and provoked the relationship between the other party and the company's board of directors.

Jobs got up to leave, and laughed: "Roy, you think too simply, it's hard to imagine how your single-threaded thinking can build a company." ”

Roy was in a hurry, it seemed that the cooked duck was about to fly, he also stood up, and asked rhetorically, "What do you want me to do, you make a request." Now in Apple, you're just a board advisor, not even a CEO, so are you willing to be subordinate? You know, even if you're eloquent and powerful, but you don't even have executive power, what else can you do?"

Jobs smiled disdainfully, "Power is never taken away, but won by the right decisions and excellent leadership!"

After that, he ignored Roy's retention, and walked away with a brisk walk.

Roy watched the other party disappear behind the door in a blink of an eye, and angrily slapped the table and shouted, "Fake! What kind of person! It's not suitable for you to put forward conditions! You don't say how I know what to do! I'm so sincere, so considerate, so respectful, you're too bullying......"

Alyssa got up and closed the door, sighing helplessly, it seems that the road to this acquisition will not be smooth.

Ivy figured out Roy's temperament and knew that the other party would not really be angry with her, so she boldly mocked: "Is this not negotiated? Just now, it seems that someone swore that he had prepared n plans, n+1 routines, and waited for us to applaud without fail, did this not work?"

"That's ...... That's because ......" Roy couldn't answer, and said angrily: "Alyssa, don't you care about your puppy?"

Alyssa shook her head helplessly, "Roy, calm down, the situation is very bad now, and we have to plan again." ”

Roy said indignantly: "What's wrong, isn't it Jobs, now it seems that he is an ordinary person, and others evaluate him as rude, paranoid, and arrogant, which is really not wrong at all, it's too hateful." ”

Ivy interjected: "Before you met anyone, you still praised Jobs for being focused, enthusiastic, and curious." ”

"You did it on purpose. ”

Roy was angry and chased after Ivy to fight, and Ivy called hooligans, ran and hid behind Alyssa's back, and continued to taunt.

Roy has practiced pounced on women, and he has consulted Debra, a wrestler, in bed. I saw him feint to the left, when Ivy was dodging to the right, he quickly went to the right, one hit and pounced, the whole body pressed Ivy to the ground, he got up slightly, pressed on Ivy on top of him, clasped the other party's struggling hands with his left hand, slapped Ivy on the face with his right hand, and said proudly: "Keep the waves, when my big and rough is a decoration?"

Ivy resisted violently, and she didn't stop making noise for a moment.

Alyssa was startled by Roy's sudden flutter, and when she saw the two of them fighting on the ground, she straightened her face and reprimanded solemnly: "Roy! ”

The two had no choice but to stop, and got up in hatred, their clothes were ripped off each other, and there was still a little bit of elite white-collar fan, just like a hooligan and a ruffian on the street.

Alyssa helplessly helped Ivy straighten her clothes, and sighed: "Roy, I must seriously advise you, you should give up this acquisition." ”

Roy vented just now, his temper went a lot, he sat down and took a sip of water, and said, "Give up? How is it possible, there has not been a single case of the company that Roy wants to buy that has escaped the palm of my hand." ”

Ivy rolled her eyes as if you had bought the company.

Alyssa explained: "I think Jobs is adamant, obviously not going to give up, and if he spreads the word that the company is going to be acquired, then it is likely that the purchase price will more than double." That's why I suggest you go directly to the CEO and chairman to finalize it secretly. ”

Nani, and this operation?

Roy is sluggish, his idol Joe gang leader won't be so reckless, right?
